JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Not surprised. 10 Weeks later and her album is still top 5 on BB200. Streaming is the future kiddies. Her unit equivalents must be at 1M by now. http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200 "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." -Martin Luther King Jr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanWinchester 41,390 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I usually don't care but this just means other bases will keep dragging ARTPOP even if in truth it sold more than many albums being "certified" these days. It's not fair. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciccone Madonna 1,362 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 This whole thing with streaming seems little ****ed up, but it illustrates an artist s real popularity in 2016. Back in the the day the only way to listen to music was waiting for it to play on MTV or the radio, if you couldn t afford buying albums. Buying singles in ths 80s or 90s was little absurd. I remember only buying like 2 singles in my life. iTunes changed the whole thing about digital singles.. Now with streaming art is more reachable. It may seem strange, but eventually we will adapt to this pattern in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What qualified ANTI to gain a 2X platinum certification? Isn't 1,000,000 copies = Platinum? ANTI was awarded a platinum certification because of Samsung's purchase but then the second one? An additional 1 million album equivalents.

Dominic 11,922 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Deserved, love the album. Not sure why people are complaining about streaming, it is the future and the way forward. Don't discredit something just because it's not the traditional way. Streaming really is going to take over physical sales completely in the next few years so might as well get used to it. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fair. ARTPOP didn't do great in sales or streaming. So it kinda is what it is. It's not fair because it was a good album but the GP wasn't into it.

But that's Interscope's fault. It at least deserves platinum certification. Even Iggy got a platinum album certification.
